| You know, this unfolding novel is nice and all, but I really posted under the assumption that this was all understood and that the fact that the majority of us hate AS (as well as the reasons for which) had become a given by now. I don't know, maybe some people need this venting still, but I really... |

| when i hear the autism community criticize autism speaks, it sounds like the tea party criticizing mainstream republicans. i agree with the controversy, but when i see where it comes from, it loses credibility. Why shouldn't we criticize them, when they make no effort to accept us as we are? Giving... |

Reality TV and over-dramatization in general. It's dumb and counter-productive in real life.
Even more annoying than that are people who will agree with the above statement, and yet still will engage in drama unnecessarily. |

I've always had a strong interest in disasters, particularly tornadoes, hurricanes, and tsunami waves.
As a result I can tell you most anything about any of them. |

| I think that whether or not he is fictional is irrelevant to the question, don't you? Ask yourself this: Have you watched the movie? Have you thought about the character? Is it an interesting topic to you? If you answer no to any of these questions, you should know by looking at the topic that this ... |

Case in point, let's look at 2010's Hurricane Igor, which is near peak intensity (or so it would seem) even as I write this.

| Just remember, to make a scientific deduction based on data analysis, you MUST assume that your data is accurate, because if any part of the question (i.e. data analyzed) is a falsehood, then your results are contaminated.
